Identify the essence of communication in your small business.
Are your employees working towards a common goal? Are they all clear about what that goal is? Communication within a small business is crucial if you want to succeed. How that communication is dispersed and then circulated amongst employees needs to be clear, as well as consistent. In order to ensure goals, objectives, and challenges are all communicated properly, it's important that the sharing of information within your small business is formalized.
Vertical Communication
The flow of communication between managerial and non-managerial staff should be both welcomed and encouraged. Set up how and when to share your small business policy updates, performance reviews, or new projects are shared in order to ensure they are received by all the necessary personnel.
Horizontal Communication
Build stronger teams by establishing business processes that will empower each department to control internal communication. Create a business system that will equip employees to coordinate with colleagues effectively on projects and stay up to date with unit's status.
Cross Channel Communication
Streamline the dialogue between your departments.
